Potassium is one of the most essential minerals‚ but your body is unable to produce it on its own. It’s commonly found in many fruits‚ vegetables‚ whole grains‚ beans‚ and lean meats. Ancient societies tended to consume far more potassium than we do today. Unfortunately‚ while processed foods may be convenient‚ they tend to be lower in nutrients. A diet low in potassium can interfere with heart rhythms‚ digestion‚ muscle contractions‚ and nerve impulses. It also helps you maintain cardiovascular health. Finally‚ potassium works in combination with sodium to regulate the balance of water in the body.

Supplements like PureFormulas’ Potassium 99 mg Chelated may be essential in some cases. For example‚ people with hypokalemia—a condition that results in depressed levels of potassium in the blood—require it. Hypokalemia can result from some kidney diseases‚ excessive sweating‚ vomiting‚ diarrhea‚ or the excessive use of laxatives or diuretics; it may also be a side effect of diabetes. Your health care professional will most likely recommend frequent blood tests to make sure that your potassium levels aren’t too high or too low; however‚ in most cases‚ your kidneys tend to excrete excess potassium through urine.

The gastrointestinal tract is able to readily absorb potassium in most cases. Each capsule provides 99 milligrams of potassium‚ derived from 495 mg of potassium amino acid chelate. This chelated form of the mineral is biologically similar to the kind of potassium naturally found in food.

One bottle of Potassium 99 mg Chelated should last you for 100 days at the recommended dosage of one capsule daily.
